What is the incubation period for a poison ivy rash? Dermatologists suggest that the first exposure to poison ivy has an incubation period of about five to 21 days before the rash appears. However, repeated exposure to poison ivy results in the rash appearing more quickly (about 12-48 hours).
The poison ivy rash is an allergic reaction to an oily chemical from the leaf surface. This is an individual's allergic response to the chemical and is therefore not considered to be contagious.
